Every blizzard begins with a single snowflake.
Rhys and his 3 closest friends are young adventurers trying to make a name for themselves in a world filled with monsters and magic. When they're sent on a royal quest to investigate rumors of a strange phenomenon happening up north, they get their chance.
People all over the continent of Ravnia have been talking about frozen, white rain falling from the sky up north. Ravnia's sometimes warm, sometimes cool: never hot, never cold. This icy, white rain - which is being calling snow - has never known to exist. And many doubt it's real: snow deniers, they're often called. But Rhys believes in snow and hopes to see it for himself when they get up north.
Along the way, the adventurers encounter strange monsters and even stranger happenings in the towns they visit. Fire magic is banned everywhere they go, enforced by magical-adherence knights (MAKs). Groups like ANTIMA want to ban all magic, using the very thing they claim to be against to push their beliefs on others. Black and white mages have been replaced by non-binary wizards. Anti-axers and pro-knifers clash over the possibility of a bladed-weapons ban. And then there are the social-judgment wizards (SJWs) who use their magic to silence anyone who speaks out against them.
But the further along Rhys and the others get in their quest, the more they realize things aren't as they seem. Has the king and queen sent them on a fool's errand? Or have they stumbled upon a plot much more sinister than any of them ever could've imagined?
If you like medieval fantasy filled with humor and satire, you'll love Snow by Ellis Michaels. This satirical sword-and-sorcery page-turner is intended for mature audiences.
